Hidden History: Lost Civilizations, Secret Knowledge, And Ancient Mysteries (Paperback)
by Brian Haughton
One of the many legacies of our ancient past is a bewildering variety of mysteries, some genuinely mystifying, others more easily solved with a little research. Brian Haughton’s new book Hidden History: Lost Civilizations, Secret Knowledge, And Ancient Mysteries uses the latest archaeological evidence to investigate a fascinating collection of fifty of these ancient enigmas. The book’s contents are arranged into three parts.
Mysterious Places discusses the well known but still puzzling sites of Stonehenge, the Great Pyramid and Machu Picchu, alongside more controversial locations such as Mystery Hill – known to many as America’s Stonehenge, the ever controversial Atlantis and the golden city of El Dorado.
Unexplained Artifacts contains perhaps the most contentious chapters in the book. Included in this section are the Antikythera Mechanism - an ancient Greek computer found beneath the Aegean Sea, the controversial Shroud of Turin, a 2000 year old electric battery found in Baghdad and many more strange objects from the depths of antiquity.
The last part of the book is dedicated to Enigmatic People. Among the human mysteries discussed in this section is the new evidence in the case of the alleged murder of Tutankhamen, the possibility of an historical King Arthur, the bizarre rituals involved in the case of the bog bodies of north-western Europe, the elusive and mystical Knights Templar, as well as many other human mysteries from antiquity.
Heaven's Mirror : Quest for the Lost Civilizationby Graham Hancock, Santha Faiia (Photographer)
Working with photographer Santha Faiia, Hancock traces a network of sacred sites around the globe on a spectacular voyage of discovery that takes us from the pyramids and temples of ancient Egypt to the enigmatic statues of Easter Island, from the haunting ruins of pre-Columbian America to the splendors of Angkor Wat, in order to crack the code of our lost ancestors. It is an odyssey that leads to sunken monuments and hidden chambers--a journey through myth and magic, and astounding archaeological revelations, that forces us to rethink our entire conception of the origins of civilization.
